Deadline day key events
Leaving for Spain: Sevilla interested in Leicester midfielder?
Sevilla are reportedly interested in signing Leicester City midfielder Boubakary Soumare.
The 25-year-old has played a bit-part role under the new head coach Steve Cooper at the King Power Stadium so far in the 2024-25 campaign.
Soumare featured on the opening day of the Premier League campaign for the Foxes, coming off the bench for the final 11 minutes of the draw with Tottenham Hotspur.
Since then, the midfielder has failed to make an appearance in the top flight for the East Midlands outfit, being left out of the squad on the weekend.
Serie A move: Forward linked with Arsenal, Man United 'in talks with Juventus'
Juventus have reportedly opened discussions with Jonathan David over a move to the club, with the forward potentially available on a free transfer next summer.
The 24-year-old was linked with both Arsenal and Manchester United during the recent transfer market, with both clubs believed to be admirers of the Canada international, but he remained with Lille.
David is unlikely to pen a fresh contract with his French club, meaning that he is set to become available on a free transfer, unless a mid-season departure for a small fee can be agreed.
Both Arsenal and Man United are still thought to be in the striker market, with the Gunners expected to move for a new forward in 2025, while the Red Devils could bring in further competition in the final third.
La Liga talent: Liverpool 'join the race for highly-rated Spanish defender'
Liverpool have reportedly identified Sevilla defender Juanlu Sanchez as a possible replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold, with the latter's contract at Anfield due to expire at the end of the 2024-25 campaign.
The Reds view Alexander-Arnold as a vital part of their plans moving forward, and it is understood that the England international is desperate to stay at Anfield, but an agreement over a new deal has not yet been reached.
Real Madrid are the team believed to be showing the biggest interest in Alexander-Arnold, as the reigning Spanish and European champions are looking for a long-term replacement for Dani Carvajal.
Bayer Leverkusen's Jeremie Frimpong has been linked with Arne Slot's side, but according to CaughtOffside, Sanchez is also on their radar amid the uncertainty surrounding his long-term future at Sevilla.
Onana competition? Man United 'identify Championship goalkeeper' as target
Manchester United are reportedly keeping a close eye on Sunderland's Anthony Patterson, with the Red Devils considering signing a new number two goalkeeper next summer.
Altay Bayindir is currently Andre Onana's understudy at Old Trafford, with the former arriving from Fenerbahce in the summer of 2023, but he has only made two first-team appearances for the Red Devils.
According to The Sun, Bayindir could be on the move in search of regular football, as the Turkey international is only likely to receive action in the EFL Cup unless Onana picks up an injury.
The report claims that Patterson is being wanted by the 20-time English champions, with the Premier League club's goalkeeping scout Tony Coton keeping a close eye on his performances.
Clasico battle? Real Madrid, Barcelona 'learn club's stance on centre-back'
Real Madrid and Barcelona have reportedly been told that a 'huge fee' will be required to sign Brazilian centre-back Murillo from Nottingham Forest during next summer's transfer window.
The two biggest clubs in Spain are both expected to sign a new centre-back in the summer of 2025, and there have recently been claims that Murillo has emerged as a target for the duo.
The 22-year-old arrived at Forest from Corinthians in August 2023, with the Premier League club believed to have paid in the region of £10.6m for his signature.
Murillo was excellent during his first season in English football, making 36 appearances in all competitions, while he has also had a strong start to the 2024-25 campaign.
Al-Nassr 'make Ronaldo decision' as forward's contract nears its conclusion
Al-Nassr have reportedly opened discussions with Cristiano Ronaldo over a new deal at the club.
The 39-year-old famously joined Al-Nassr on a free transfer in January 2023 following the breakdown of his relationship with Manchester United, and he has had a successful period with the Saudi Arabian outfit.
Ronaldo has managed 64 goals in 71 matches for the Saudi Pro League side, in addition to registering 17 assists, and he has again been in impressive form during the current campaign.
The Portugal international has six goals and two assists in seven appearances, with four of his strikes coming in the Saudi Pro League, demonstrating that he remains a hugely impactful player for the club.
Manchester giants to collide: Man City, Man United 'battling for Bundesliga star'
Bayer Leverkusen's Jeremie Frimpong is reportedly wanted by both Manchester City and Manchester United during next summer's transfer window, with the Dutchman widely expected to leave his German club.
There has recently been suggestions of interest from Liverpool in the 23-year-old, with Trent Alexander-Arnold's contract at Anfield due to expire at the end of the season.
Real Madrid are keen on Alexander-Arnold, but it is understood that the England international wants to sign a new deal at Anfield, with a departure looking unlikely at this stage of proceedings.
According to Fichajes, a move to the Premier League for Frimpong is still a serious possibility, though, as both Man City and Man United are interested in his signature.
What's been said? Musiala addresses future amid Man City, Man United talk
Bayern Munich attacker Jamal Musiala has said that he is "open to anything" amid suggestions that he could depart Allianz Arena during next summer's transfer window.
The 21-year-old is currently one of the most in-demand players in world football, boasting a strong record of 46 goals and 34 assists in 170 appearances for Bayern in all competitions.
The Germany international has started the 2024-25 campaign in impressive fashion, managing three goals and three assists in seven appearances in all competitions.
Musiala only has a contract at Allianz Arena until June 2026, and there is currently a host of speculation surrounding his future, with Manchester City thought to lead the race for his services.
